BUCKS BEAUTIFUL BLUEBERRIES

By Lynne Goldman

It's blueberry season! Buy them by the quart and throw them in smoothies, on top of your morning yogurt or freeze them for a taste of summer in the middle of winter. Of course you can also just eat them straight out of the box, by the handful.

Blueberries bring to mind one of my favorite recipes, Blueberry Buckle. It's an old-fashioned, moist cake, full of bursting blueberries with a crackly thin sugar glaze on top. Perfect with coffee in the morning. Diet be darned. Blueberries are only in season a short while.

HOW TO MAKE GLAZE

1. Prepare glaze just before cake is done baking.
2. Cook all ingredients over low heat until smooth, and then remove.
3. When cake is done, spread glaze over top. Return cake to oven and broil until glaze bubbles (but avoid overbrowning).

NOTE: You can also use this same recipe to make muffins, but brush the glaze on the muffin tops instead of pouring.
